If you are already an employee, it's not a problem when changing status. Some companies have weird policy when hiring someone on cpt though.

Can you extend the fulltime cpt past one year?

MGM Resorts farheen786 OP Jan 17, 2019

Yes ..I can but I will lose my opt

MGM Resorts farheen786 OP Jan 17, 2019

Or else...I can study and get 1 year CPT and then take opt later

Day 1 CPTs are fraud. I'd recommend to stay away from this. The point of getting a PhD is to gain expertise in your field of research by staying at the grad school full time. Day 1 CPTs defeat the whole purpose.
